this time when florida comes in, he'll get 50 out of 50 right. who else did i rely on? "huffington post" pollsters. do you know how many states they got right? 50 out of 50. you know why? because they did math. they didn't say these are the things we want to happen. they said this is what the polling, the combination of polling indicates. see, we have logic, we have reasons. not the republicans say this, the democrats say this, golly gee, what do i do? you do math. that's what you do. that's why we were right and they were wrong. now we go to the second part of the media. some tweeted last night. obama is going to win and i wonder if they're going to call this even. they can't call it even if the guy won the presidency. well, they were saying it's not a mandate. all over it's not a mandate. back in 2004 do you know how many electoral votes george bush won, 286. that's a big number. what did president bush say about that right afterwards? >> i earned capital political capital, now i intend to spend it. >> cenk: the entire media went along with it, he has a mandate. 286.

romney was in florida and virginia. three weeks ago after the denver debate the thought was those states belonged to romney. the fact that he's here in those states five days before the election tells you he's trying to shore up those states and they also believe these polls. you know, the journalists are simply not telling an accurate story to the american people, but the last thing i just want to say about it, who cares? like it's ok to tell that story saying at a obama is the favorite right now at 350 basically, meaning you'd have to bet $350 win $100 on obama. we've all seen the underdog win but it does mean that romney is an underdog five days out. >> cenk: doesn't mean that you're biased in their favor. they're maddening. all right, ben, thank you man we'll speak to you again from vegas soon. when we come back, one had the guts to call it what it is. what others considering a controversial cover, but a cover we love. it's global warming stupid and we're going to have the guy who wrote the article when we come back

louisiana number two florida is third. georgia's at 24, alabama at 23, tennessee at 22,000, and then north carolina, south carolina, arkansas and finally look at that, we've got kind of a blue state in colorado in the bottom of the top 10 there. now, it's interesting, because most of these states in the top 10 are takers, not makers. that's the language that the republicans love to talk in, right? they actually have done studies on how much they give to the federal government and how much they give back. first of the top 10 states give more to the federal government than they receive. arkansas is 73 cents and colorado at 91 cents. now let's look at the takers, the red toyota always complain about the federal government but all they do is mooch off of it. here's that list. >> look at alabama! moochers! takers! losers! south carolina, taking, taking, taking $1.92. speaking of tennessee their congressman zack wamp i lamb wanted to call him swamp, would be somewhat appropriate said this: >> cenk: look, the reality is i love a

in florida in ohio. and neither state being actually able to manage what they've put in place which are these huge lines and not having the infrastructure in place to actually get people through the polls in a speedy process. >> now, we just showed a bunch of pictures there that were all in ohio and florida huge lines. let me give the audience a sense of how targeted this is. voting restrictions in ohio, 28 precincts, and they were all -- i shouldn't say all -- they were mostly african-american, and then when you see the numbers in pennsylvania precincts that were targeted for mitt romney poll watchers were 79% african-american and in miami dade in florida where you had the restriction 64.5% hispanic, 19.3% black. rashad, how do you fight back? if you have republican governors willing to be this brazen. look that those stark numbers and say, i don't care, by hook or crook i'll limit your vote. how do you fight back? >> we have been fighting back a number of months. we've won and lost battles. in ohio, ju

and in florida there were more shark attacks in the first 2010 than the case of voter fraud. how has this taken traction? these courts has not done away with it. they said we have to wait and see and then implement. >> we were discussing this before the show, right? if you look at the presidential election, and the voter turnout numbers that the obama campaign was able to get out higher turnouts laws that are in the process of being passed. you get into a situation where grassroots organizations are going to spend that much more money and that much more preparation and get into the game that much earlier with lawyers and what not to try to get around these things. or to not get around them, but to ensure whatever new laws are passed their voters can apply it. >> michael: tricia, the civil rights movement, it's different than being able to sit down at the bus or the launch counter. is there motivation? >> it's no question, it's a different time. we're in a different era and strategies are different. when you said alabama is close to perfect as it is, i have to tell you the lin
